$A$ cricket bowler releases the ball in two different ways:
$(a)$ giving it only horizontal velocity,and
$(b)$ giving it horizontal velocity and a small downward velocity.
The speed $V_s$ at the time of release is the same. Both are released at a height $H$ from the ground. Which one will have greater speed when the ball hits the ground? Neglect air resistance.

An aeroplane flying $490 \, m$ above ground level at $100 \, m/s$ releases a block. How far on the ground will it strike (in $km$)?

$A$ ball is thrown upward from the top of a building at an angle of $30^{\circ}$ to the horizontal with an initial speed of $15 \,ms^{-1}$. If the ball hits the ground after $3 \,s$, then the height of the building is (acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \,ms^{-2}$): (in $\,m$)

An aeroplane is moving with horizontal velocity $u$ at height $h$. The velocity of a packet dropped from it on the earth's surface will be ($g$ is acceleration due to gravity).

From the top of a tower of height $40\,m$,a ball is projected upwards with a speed of $20\,m/s$ at an angle of elevation of $30^{\circ}$. The ratio of the total time taken by the ball to hit the ground to its time of flight (time taken to come back to the same elevation) is (take $g=10\,m/s^2$).
